- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup molasses

Instructions
- Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Add the ½ cup demera sugar to a wide, shallow bowl.
- Place chopped pecans in a medium size bowl. Drizzle with the 2 teaspoons melted butter. Turn out onto one of the sheet pans and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring several times, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, shortening and sugar till creamy and fluffy.
- Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
- Combine dry ingredients and add to sugar/butter mixture. Mix until all flour is incorporated.
- Add chopped ginger and toasted pecans. Mix to combine.
- Scoop up dough into 1-inch balls (I use a medium size ice cream scoop) and roll in the prepared bowl of Demera sugar to coat well.
- Place cookies on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350˚F. for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool for several minutes on cookie sheet then transfer to cooling rack.
Notes
- Notes: Make sure pans are cool before adding balls of dough. If the dough is added to warm pans it will soften before it gets to the oven and the finished cookies will be flatter, with less of the fun crackles. When baking cookies, I use 3-4 pans and just transfer the parchment paper to a cool pan. None of the pans get dirty due to the parchment paper, but I'm never waiting for pans to cool.
